{"product_id":"dueling-harlows-tom-lisanti-9781476692593","title":"Dueling Harlows: The Race to Bring the Actress's Life to the Silver Screen","description":"\u003cp\u003e In 1965 producers Joseph E. Levine and Bill Sargent were racing to get their problem-laden biopics of Jean Harlow (both titled \u003ci\u003eHarlow\u003c\/i\u003e) into theaters first. Levine's film starred Carroll Baker in a big-budget, color production. Sargent's movie starred Carol Lynley in a quickie, black and white production shot in a new process called Electronovision. In the press the two producers conducted one of the nastiest feuds Hollywood had ever witnessed, nearly culminating in fisticuffs at the 1965 Academy Awards ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In recounting the making of the two films, this book (expanded from the original self-published edition) touches on Jean Harlow's life, the failed attempts to make a Harlow biopic in the 1950s, and the reviled, bestselling 1964 biography. It details the aftermath of each movie's release, from scathing reviews to disappointing box office returns to the several lawsuits. Newly discussed are the portrayals of Jean Harlow on stage shortly after the Levine and Sargent films, and the making of the 1977 film \u003ci\u003eHughes and Harlow: Angels in Hell\u003c\/i\u003e starring Lindsay Bloom as Jean Harlow. The book is generously illustrated and includes interviews with people associated with all three films, including Carol Lynley and Lindsay Bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Lisanti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476692599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476692593\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2024 pg. 93","brand":"Tom Lisanti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45934063419647,"sku":"9781476692593","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03f19151-d796-4a25-8771-f4d7f45c8595.jpg?v=1721790257","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dueling-harlows-tom-lisanti-9781476692593","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
